@BrianLehman @AmeliaMN @OpenVisConf As an old wargamer I like this, but what is the wider opinion on usefulness from the mapping community?

@rogersm haven't played much, but vary the size and rotation of the bins; allows for a potentially clearly insight @AmeliaMN @OpenVisConf

@BrianLehman @AmeliaMN @OpenVisConf The issue is how accurate/useful is mapping reality to an hex grid for data analysis.

@rogersm agreed. When the bins can be colored based a normalized scores, we can see more than population density. @AmeliaMN @OpenVisConf

@BrianLehman @rogersm @OpenVisConf Should have mentioned— if you have point data, display that. But lots of data comes pre-aggregated.

@AmeliaMN @BrianLehman @rogersm @OpenVisConf I’m working w/students at @SmithCollegeSDS to do extend that tool to pre-aggregated data.

@AmeliaMN @BrianLehman @OpenVisConf @SmithCollegeSDS Will you publish how it evolves? It looks promising (even if I see some issues)
